yeah there's almost no denying they're overpriced, i wouldnt try to argue that. believe me i think theyre a bunch of crooks like everyone else and most of the time i want to punch steve jobs in the face. i just dont see where ALL the hate comes from.. believe me, us mac users hate the hip douches that buy them to write their novel at starbucks just as much if not more than you dudes
anyway i work at a marine bio lab, where they study animals in the lab and in the field. my boss shoots assloads of HD video and stills in the field and if i had to deal with all that shit without my dual 30" screens, mac pro with TB upon TB of storage and and equally big RAID system, and H.264 codec i'd fucking quit.
honestly why don't windows users have a seriously good, standard HD codec yet?
